Presidential candidate Virgil Goode is a former congressman from Virginia. Vice presidential candidate Jim Clymer is the immediate past national chairman of the Constitution Party. The Independent American Party is the Nevada state affiliate of the national Constitution Party.

Goode was a member of Ron Paul’s Liberty Caucus when he served in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was chosen as the Independent American Party’s presidential candidate at the National Convention in Nashville, Tennessee in April.

The Independent American Party also filed the names of the party’s presidential electors in order to vote in the Electoral College.

“Now the people of Nevada have a real choice for president, not just the twin party candidates that offer us more of the same,” Wagner said.
